But what happens if you\u2019re not traditional? Maybe you hate the oohs and aahs of gifts being slowly unwrapped, or the anticipation of cheesy, overplayed games. As Ashley Laskowski discovered, it\u2019s possible to have a nontraditional baby shower that\u2019s as much fun as it is meaningful. She and her mother, Jane, pulled off a fabulous mom-to-be bash that was full of colorful d\u00e9cor, margaritas, and good times all around.
